The calf catcher is a cage on wheels that keeps you protected from the mother cow as you tag the calf. It has a spring loaded gate on the front to enclose the calf, and a spot to hold the calf in the back that makes tagging and transporting the calf convenient. being able to hold the calf in the back can be advantageous to lead the cow to another location. once the tagging procedure has been completed you can release the calf out the gate in the back.
These calf catchers have telescoping hitches so they can be hooked up to a quad or a side by side.
